Hi all! The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is opening this month and I am going to visit opening week. I would like to go back again on Sunday November 1st at 11:30am as a group. I picked November since the public tickets available for purchase are limited before then. Please let me know if Sunday November 1st at 11:30am would work. Adult ticket cost is $25 each and each person has to buy their own ticket. Time slots do sell out so please keep that in mind and buy your tickets as soon as possible if you want to try and attend at the same time. [https://lucasmuseum.org/](https://lucasmuseum.org/)

Sat, Nov 7, 9:00 PM

From Ananda Yoga and Guided Meditation

**Join us for a sacred three-hour immersion to explore the deep intersection of inner peace, meditation, and creative expression.** *In the words of Paramhansa Yogananda, “Creativity is the reflection of the divine craftsman within you.”* This workshop is a warm invitation to our creative family – bringing together our dedicated students, fellow artists, and dear friends. Whether you are a long time creator or simply seeking a space to explore, we gather as a supportive community of peers. Together, we will quiet the analytic mind, open our hearts and anchor our unique creative practices in joy, allowing our inner light to flow freely onto the paper. The design of this 3-hour creative event is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and specifically from Art as a Hidden Message by Swami Kriyananda. **Meet Your Guides:** \* Anne Scheid: a professional artist and former Fine Arts professor in drawing, who taught at Fresno City College for 24 years. Anne holds an MFA from the University of Cincinnati. She now dedicates her energy to creating and exhibiting, teaching Ananda Meditation, and co-leading the Ananda Fresno Meditation Group. She brings decades of artistic practice integrated with a daily meditation practice. “Intuition and inner stillness have been my true creative guides.” Website: annescheid.com \* Sansanee Boonyad: Your local LA host, fine artist, educator, and Ananda Certified Yoga Teacher. She holds an MFA in Painting from Laguna College of Art and Design and teaches painting at Saddleback College Emeritus Institute. Her creative work and teaching are inspired by her spiritual practice and her interest in bringing creativity and inner awareness into everyday life. Website: SansaneeBoonyad.com Together, Anne and Sansanee will hold a supportive, harmonious space to help you transcend technique and tap into your own source of intuitive, wisdom, antd joy. **In this 3-hour workshop, we will share hands-on projects that ask, not skill, but a personal sense of adventure, a willingness to explore and try new things and an attitude of openness. Inspiration and how to locate yours will be our search.**

Filipino Martial Arts is a weapon based martial art. Start off on your first day wielding two weapons. Learn multiple weapons, empty hand techniques, self-defense, discipline, meet new people and get some exercise. https://www.facebook.com/EskrimaAcademyLosAngeles https://www.instagram.com/losangeleseskrima/ We are hosting a meet up of a Filipino Martial arts class every Saturday 10 AM - 12 PM at Brand Park, 1601 W Mountain St, Glendale, CA 91201. We will be located at the pin on the map in this event page. This class is open to all skill levels. A great way to meet other people interested in Martial arts, as well as getting some exercise and learning an excellent weapon based martial art. We start you with weapons (sticks) to use in class the first day. Eskrima is a Filipino Martial Art and a very effective self-defense art. If you've trained before, come out, if you've never trained in Filipino martial arts (Serrada Eskrima), it's a great new art that could be a stand alone art, or could compliment any other martial arts out there. We teach techniques that range from sticks to knife, to empty hand, improvised weapons and well as many other techniques. Once the student has the basics down he or she can easily transition to improvised weapons. If you have sticks bring them. If not, we have plenty to lend out. Wear loose workout clothes and bring some water to stay hydrated. Contact us if you have any questions, or if you can't find us at the park, please call: Erwin @ 773.627.8730 Text first then we will get back to you.

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee

Fri, Oct 30, 10:00 PM

From AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World

5.0

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**
